Basic Information
PH6178 is a semester module in English language at graduate-studies level which is offered in summer semester.
This Module is included in the following catalogues within the study programs in physics.
- Subject-Related Qualification Modules for Doctoral Candidates in Physics (Seminars)
If not stated otherwise for export to a non-physics program the student workload is given in the following table.
| Total workload | Contact hours | Credits (ECTS) |
|---|---|---|
| 90 h | 30 h | 3 CP |
Responsible coordinator of the module PH6178 is Raimund Strauß.
Content, Learning Outcome and Preconditions
Content
This proseminar will give an introduction to the principles of cryogenic detectors operated at mK temperatures and their application in modern astroparticle physics. Seminar talks on the topic will be prepared by Master and PhD students.
The presentations will cover the following topics:
- Fundamental aspects of cryogenic detectors
- Cryogenic experiments for the direct search for Dark Matter
- Cryogenic experiments for neutrino-less double beta decay
- Cryogenic experiments for coherent neutrino nucleus scattering
- Cryogenic neutrino-mass experiments
- Cryostats: New generation dilution refrigerators
- Application of cryogenic detectors
Learning Outcome
After successful participation in the proseminar the student will have learned:
- basic methods of literature retrieval
- the ability to condense their knowledge from scientific papers into a presentation
- presentation skills for science and industry
- about principles of cryogenic detections and their application in modern astroparticle physics experiments
Preconditions
No preconditions beyond the basic knowledge of nuclear-, particle-, and astro-physics (KTA).
Engagement.
